Overview

A counter channel shows a live server statistic in its name, such as "Members: 12,480", and greed keeps the number up to date as people join, leave or boost.

Note:

Looking for the game where members count up together? That is Counting.

Getting Started

Create a counter channel with the statistic you want to show.

,counter add (metric) [kind]
  • (metric): the statistic to show, such as members, bots or boosts.
  • [kind]: the type of channel to create: voice, text, category, announce or stage. Defaults to voice. announce and stage need Community to be enabled in your server.

This creates a voice channel that shows your server's member count and updates automatically.

Tip:

Use ,counter options to see every metric and channel type your server supports.


Management

  • ,counter: show how to use counters.
  • ,counter list: list every counter channel in your server.
  • ,counter remove (channel): stop updating a counter channel. The channel itself is not deleted.

Members, humans, bots, pending members, channels, text channels, voice channels, categories, announcement channels, stage channels, boosts, boosters and a timestamp. Use ,counter options to see the exact names.

You can rename a counter channel however you like. greed only replaces the last number in the name, or adds : number to the end if there is none. Discord limits how often a bot can rename a channel, so a counter updates at most about every 10 minutes.

You can also ask the assistant in the dashboard to add, remove or list counter channels, for example "add a members counter". It shows you the plan to approve first. Removing a counter keeps the channel.

Counters are also in /configure → Utility → Counter channels.

Permissions
